College pennants are sewn into a quilt for these two sweethearts. In my entire collection, this is the only example of a Pennant quilt. The quilt exhibits quite a collection from Massachusetts, Vassar, Maryland, Rhode Island, University of Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Indiana, New York, Tennessee, Alabama, and Kansas.
